A surprise visitor to our part of York earlier this afternoon was this police helicopter. I haven't discovered the reason for it's presence, but it was obviously carrying out some kind of search. It would hover for a short time, before moving position and hovering again. According to the Flightaware website, shortly after I took this shot, it left York heading south to it's base at Robin Hood airport near Doncaster.
For the record, it's a Eurocopter EC 135P2+ registered G-POLA.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and fav, they are very much appreciated.
I haven't discovered the reason for this flight yet, nothing in the media this morning about a police chase or a missing person search, so it looks like it could remain a mystery.

Thank you Bri. It is quite fascinating to watch how the police carry out their searches.
